Signings, Suggestions & Rumours Discussion

[cktiger]

So there's a rumour that Edrick Lee might get an early release? I wonder if the club would have a look at him. He's not the perfect winger but we do lack a little depth there, problem is he's injury prone

Hopefully not, we've got better coming through the grades.

Will they be in the top 30 this year or next? We need another winger in the squad I feel. Talau is our main backup and he's not really a winger.

Edene Gebbie can play wing can't he?

Really looking forward to seeing some Gebbie action wherever he ends up playing. Think he'll be good value.

Those Kumuls are tough as.

I like the look of Gebbie.
Don’t think they mucked around getting him here to stay in reggies for too long.

He can, but I reckon he'll be at fullback for magpies

Yeah probably early in the season given his late start with us (assuming he's upgraded to top 30?) But later in the season I wouldn't be surprised to see him playing NRL.

Wow didn't Fitzgibbon's light fade in a heartbeat..

Yeh ur not wrong! I think with a little bit of time under madge he could go along way. If he gets his attitude right I think he could really be a freak of an athlete

 

[weststigerman]

Wow didn't Fitzgibbon's light fade in a heartbeat..

Yeah, funny that. Turns out you need more than speed to make it in the NRL.

That said I still think he's got potential, but the comparisons between him and JAC are ridiculous.

I'd rather stick with developing Fitzgibbon and Gebbie than sign Lee..

Lee is only the answer if you’re talking cc

Why would we sign Edrick Lee? He is terrible and agreed we have much better coming through especially with Gebbie - that’s who I want to see play!

Because we have 0 backup wingers is my only thought. Not saying we should sign him was just throwing it out there, clearly the club is happy to use Talau as a backup on the wing although I don't think he's a winger. We definitely do have talent coming through but none of these players mentioned are even too 30 at this point

In all seriousness apart from speed I'm not sure what JAC possesses. He's a defensive spud like most wingers....or fullbacks these days.

Kei, gebbie, fitzgibbon, Hoffman, Talau, Kepaoa are all potential wingwrs

Cini has been bagged for his defence, but he is young and did not play last year, surely its hard to judge his present ability. Kei is a dev player and can play after rd 10 . TT ,Hof,Fitz, and Gebbie all have potential, it appears wingers coming out of our bum,,. So your on the money daboss, but i can't see a backup fullback except for Gebbie. Any ideas?

Please upgrade your spell check prior to kick off..

Did you mean they are all potentially whingers?

What have they got to complain about?

Reads the game and works hard to get himself in the right positions. You definitely have a headstart with his speed, but if it was all about speed then clubs would just be out signing sprinters.

I still remember that guy we signed from Union, John Grant I think his name was? Really tall and super fast but never got close to first grade.

Some people would argue that John Grant should of got a run in first grade because he was a fairly consistent try scorer in NSW Cup.

I know he had a run of injuries there for a while and his defensive reads and tackling ability may have been a bit questionable and some claim there was a bit of politics involved along the way.

One thing most people would agree on was that he had a pretty good highlights video, but you have to take into account that it was only from Shute Shield.

 

[hank37w]

Oh, and if I recall correctly his highlights video had an AC DC sound track. (TNT I think)

Much better than some of that Rap Crap a lot of them subject you to these days.

Idk why RL highlights videos have to have music at all. It’s the only code where highlight videos have garbage music over them.

The John Grant highlight videos will go down in WTF folklore. Never has there been a more hyped player to never get near first grade
